Laid out, a pauper, a spirit, unwilling to rise Venom is easier, a serpent alone strikes Fear Can’t disguise The alone time An eternity longing to Hear Alibis Of the wrong kind As the afterlife beckons you near Too late, await your reprisal and ready the knives Bullshit survivalist, a parasite dying to feed But my dearest I’m willing to read All the things that you put in your ghost note Yet the tragedy, buried the need For your own resurrection Fear Can’t disguise The alone time An eternity longing to Hear Alibis Of the wrong kind As the afterlife beckons you near These are the hands that would lovingly hold you so tight A beautiful ending, I’m sending you where you most fear But my dearest I’m willing to read All the things that you put in your ghost note Yet the tragedy, buried the need For your own resurrection But I buried your ghost note With the poison in your throat Sleep alone with the worms As the centuries turn you to dust Ashes to ashes, the centuries turn you to dust Along with a secret so deep that I’ll keep just for us
